Need an xbox motherboard..or somebody who can solder well.

So I inherited a messed up xbox. The motherboard got botched while trying to do a hack, and he pulled out some embedded wire in the PCB ( just one i think) and its not looking like I have the skills to fix that sort of thing. Its very very small and Im not a PRO at soldering but Im good enough to know how NOT to mess up a job.

I see you can purchase the mobo's online but they only come in hard drive combos.. Well I already have a hard drive. DO I need to use a matched pair? I also dont want to pay hardly anything as its not mine to begin with......

Ick, sorry, I messed up a bit. I guess they got hammered on the requests, and aren't taking any new ones in atm...

Sell Your PartsUntil further notice we will not be accepting any system sales. If you have already sent in your system/parts then they will be processed however if your package is postmarked after 10/05/2005 it will be sent back.

This is the problem. I cant fix this crap.. I could but I have no precision tools. You can see at the bottom there is an embedded wire that is pulled. The board looks almost worthless due to what looks like heat destroying the top layer of the PCB....

Except when I did mine, I ended up going with a spring-mounted chip which I think made it much tougher. There is a sh*t load of steps involved, and I wouldn't do it again no matter what someone paid me.
